Program

Russia and Eurasia

The Russia and Eurasia Program continues Carnegie’s long tradition of independent research on major political, societal, and security trends in and U.S. policy toward a region that has been upended by Russia’s war against Ukraine.  Leaders regularly turn to our work for clear-eyed, relevant analyses on the region to inform their policy decisions.

Speaking on Fox Business News, Carnegie’s Matthew Rojansky stated: “What’s really important here is to realize the unprecedented nature of folks coming out of this region...from the former Soviet space coming and attacking the United States. Given that fact, it just underscores that Russia and the United States are facing broadly the same adversary. That’s a point that the Russians have tried to make for years and I think, in the United States, it’s time we have to start listening to that and cooperating pragmatically even though we’ve got a lot of differences with Putin and the Kremlin. This is an area where, clearly, we have to be sharing the intelligence that we have.”

    Russia’s Orthodox Church Rewrites Rules for Venerating Saints to Help the Kremlin

    The recent uncovering of Dmitry Donskoy’s relics in the Cathedral of the Archangel is yet another attempt by the Russian Orthodox Church to help the state solve its problems. However, parroting the state’s version of Russian history leaves the Church with no message except “patriotism.”
